So what are the chances that the Lehigh men’s basketball team will be at full strength tonight and Tuesday in the first two rounds of the NIT Season Tip-Off Tournament at the University of Pittsburgh’s Petersen Center?

Zero.

Guard B.J. Bailey won’t play either game because of a recurring injury.

Center Gabe Knutson is dressed and is going to give it a go with his taped left knee.

Lehigh plays Robert Morris at 8:30 p.m. today in the first round. It will play at either 6 or 9 p.m. Tuesday against either host Pitt or Robert Morris.

About this blog

Morning Call Sports Reporters Stephen Miller and Tom Housenick blog about high school and college sports action on and off the field in and around the Lehigh Valley, only at themorningcall.com.

Meet the bloggers

TOM HOUSENICK watches every move Lehigh’s C.J. McCollum makes on the court, laughs at every joke by Lafayette coach Fran O’Hanlon and watches all the Divisions II and III coaches and players do it for the love of the game. Basketball makes the cold weather season go by fast. Already can’t wait for late February and early March when each possession could result in a season ending or continuing on.

Wrapping up his ninth year at The Morning Call, STEPHEN MILLER is back for year No. 4 on the LVC football beat. He chronicled Central Catholic's state-championship run in 2010, watched Nazareth win its first LVC title in 2011 and saw the league crown tri-champions for the first time in 2012. He has also covered the Phillies, college football and a variety of prep sports while with The Morning Call.
